Every Legal App for iPhone and iPad

iOS apps for lawyers abound, whether for case management, billing, or trial preparation. This page has every legal app for iOS that we could find in the App Store.

There are just a few exceptions. This does not include apps that have not been updated since 2011 and have few or no reviews in the App Store. Apps that are simply mobile versions of a legal publication aren’t here, either, since the app doesn’t do anything over and above the website. Finally, the App Store is full of applications that simply repackage freely available content, such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Unless an app added some significant extras (such as the ability to annotate or cross reference) to that type of content, it’s not here.

The table below is searchable, and you can sort by each column. Use the comments to let us know if we missed an app.

DkT is a free app that I use to get searchable access to Federal Court records on Pacer. You can search, view, and download records from there and the interface is pretty slick. iPhonejd did a review of it a while back, which is how I learned about it.

Don’t forget WarRoom by calvatronics (www.calvatronics.com). It’s the only full-featured Mac/iOS based e-discovery management app available. It does 90% of what ProLaw does, only it does it on Macs and iOS and costs 1/20 as much. I’ve been using it in my practice for about a year on a case with >100,000 documents.

Another one you missed is Bridge Mobile by Advantage Software, a free iOS version of their transcript manager app that accepts Realtime transcript feeds, annotates transcripts, and more.

In my opinion, Jury Strike is the most trial lawyer-friendly jury selection out there. I’ve tried them all and this is the only one that allows you to load your voir dire questions and then keep track of the panel’s responses during general voir dire.

Hi Sam Glover! Thanks for including us here. I was wondering if it was possible to update our info?

Please not that as of our latest release in January, our company name continues to be eDepoze, while the product name has changed to Lexcity to be able to encompass all that it now does.

Our new link is: http://edepoze.com/lexcity/
And our New Description: Founded by a AMLaw 100 litigator and an eDiscovery veteran, eDepoze was founded in 2012 to take the paper out of depositions. Today, Lexcity by eDepoze is a single platform used to conduct all post-eDiscovery litigation events without paper, including witness prep, depositions, hearings, trial, mediations and arbitration.
